Well, it's finally cold enough that I had to open the Heater Hose Value that someone installed.

Makes a BIG difference! With the valve close, I got NO hot air coming to interior, even with the temp control all the way hot.

So, I opened the valve this morning, moved the temp control all the way hot, and after driving for a little bit I had to turn the temp control almost all the way back down to cold.

Well, at least I wasn't freezing!

Yeah, Corvette heat really cranks. I guess not having a back seat means you get it all. Joe

Ya know.. I took pictures of it the week I said I would, but they came out blurry, then I forgot to re-shoot them.

I will re-shoot them tonight!

Sorry about the hold up!

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.
OK Adam, your not busy or anything are you? It's been a day and still no pictures! |thumb| What's the deal? |headscratch|

I'm curious to see your setup as well as I will be putting the same in my baby this coming spring (the money Gods willing).

I know, it's probably the cheapest alteration I can perform on the Vette, but other things have come up this holiday season that I'm wondering if I might not have to sell her sometime soon |frown| .

One day at a time,
|smokin|
